Among the former Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants who came to work for the New York Mets were Yogi Berra, Gil Hodges, Clem Labine, Willie Mays, Duke Snider, Don Zimmer and Casey Stengel, who was coaxed out of retirement in 1962 to manage the new team. After three disastrous seasons, Stengel famously moaned, "Can't anybody here play this game?"
